A knife in love

Chapter 3007

The gray-clothed old man paused for a while when he said this, and then continued: "Mr. Yu and Zhu are both well-educated people, and Mr. Shangshu is also from Kejia, so the three of them chatted while drinking, which is very speculative." While drinking, Zhu said that the Hanlin Academy was compiling the Tongjian of the Royal Family of all dynasties, and he participated in the compilation of Tangjian. Mr. Yu was very impressed by what Zhu said, and he couldn't stop asking Zhu for advice. Zhu drink more After a few cups, I was a little drunk at the time, and seeing Mr. Yu's respectful manners, I became more and more proud, so I talked about all kinds of interesting things when I compiled the Tang Jian. During the period, when talking about Emperor Xuanzong's deeds, I wish a certain respect for Tang Xuanzong Li Longji He is very respected, thinking that Emperor Xuanzong was wise and powerful, and the reason for the Anshi Rebellion was caused by the brothers and sisters of the Yang family. Mr. Yu didn't take it seriously when he heard what Zhu said. He always thought that Concubine Yang Xier was recorded in the history books The fault of the Anshi Rebellion lies in Emperor Xuanzong's stupidity, and the brothers and sisters of the Yang family are only contributing to the flames, not the culprit."

Li Qiufeng learned martial arts from his master since he was a child, and he read and wrote in his spare time. His master told many old stories about the past dynasties.Moreover, after going out to sea from Dong'an City Wharf, he read many books and learned more about the past, so listening to the old man in gray clothes, Li Qiufeng immediately knew that what Zhu said was related to Tang Xuanzong Li Longji and his favorite Concubine Yang Yuhuan is related.It is said that Li Longji, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, was slack in politics and lustful in his later years. He violated the laws of nature and human relations.Because of the great power of the Yang family, all officials are afraid of the Yang family.At that time, An Lushan, a Hu man who served as the governor of Pinglu, Fanyang, and Hedong, intended to rebel. Hearing that Yang's power was overwhelming, he intended to make friends with Yang.It's just that Yang Guozhong wanted to monopolize the government, and he didn't like An Lushan's nonsense at all. He never had a good look at him, and he often said bad things about An Lushan in front of Tang Xuanzong, threatening that An Lushan would rebel one day. , he must be beheaded as soon as possible to eliminate future troubles.

An Lushan had many eyeliners in the capital. Hearing that Yang Guozhong had framed him secretly, he was terrified, thinking that he was fledgling and not yet an opponent of the imperial court.If the emperor listened to Yang Guozhong's words and sent a large army to attack, he would have to wipe out his entire army.An Lushan is also a ruthless character. After thinking hard, he went to Beijing to meet Tang Xuanzong on his own, and showed his heart to Tang Xuanzong to show that he had no resentment.At that time, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty was so old that he only hang out with Concubine Yang Guifei all day long, indulging in the gentle countryside, completely without the wise and enterprising spirit of his prime.Seeing that An Lushan came to Beijing alone, and presented many rare treasures, Long Yan was very happy, and held banquets in the palace for days, inviting An Lushan to enter the palace to drink and have fun.

An Lushan knew that Concubine Yang was the emperor's favorite woman, so he flattered Concubine Yang to the fullest, dedicating countless treasures to Concubine Yang, and finally worshiped Concubine Yang as his mother.Tang Xuanzong didn't know that An Lushan had evil intentions, and he only wanted to please Concubine Yang, so he agreed to this matter.Concubine Yang Guifei got many treasures and was deceived by An Lushan's rhetoric. Seeing that the emperor had agreed, she also started to mess around.Not only did she accept An Lushan as her son, but she also had to baptize her son for a hundred days. She placed a large wooden barrel in the palace, stripped An Lushan naked and put it in the barrel. Concubine Yang personally baptized An Lushan. rinse.When this matter spread outside the palace, the ministers regarded it as a disgrace, and the common people made it a joke.People with insight think that the harem is dirty and the vassals are in power, and the catastrophe is in sight.Later, Anlu Mountain really rebelled, leading to an Anshi Rebellion that lasted eight years, and the Tang Dynasty turned from prosperity to decline.The scandal about Concubine Yang Gui and An Lushan is not only widely circulated among the people, but also recorded in many historical books.Just listening to the old man in civilian clothes, Mr. Yu seems to be quite disdainful of this matter, thinking that all kinds of legends are wild history and not credible.When my master recounted this old incident, he didn't go into too much detail, maybe the matter of Concubine Yang's filth and chaos in the harem is quite strange and cannot be taken as true.

When Li Qiufeng was thinking about it, he only heard the old man in civilian clothes go on to say: "It's just that Mr. Yu is a smart person. He knows that Master Shangshu invites me to drink with Zhu, and he intends to let himself and Zhu get acquainted. If he goes to the capital to take the exam in the future, he will take care of him." Therefore, although he had quite a disagreement with Zhu, he forbears and keeps silent. The more Zhu drinks, the happier he becomes, and he also mentions the obscenity of Empress Wu in the old Tang book, saying that Empress Wu is a very obscene witch, and she must die a hundred times. Redemption. At that time, Mr. Yu drank a few more glasses, and he was already a little bit drunk. He couldn't bear to hear Zhu yelling at Empress Wu for being seductive and causing chaos in the world, so he defended Empress Wu. Zhu Mou felt unhappy and sneered He said, Brother Nian defended Empress Wu in this way, it really is a hero born out of youth. However, if Brother Nian wants to exonerate Empress Wu, he should win Juren first, and then he can enter the Imperial Academy as an editor.

"After Zhu Mou finished speaking, he immediately bid farewell to Master Shangshu, and he left without regard to Master Shangshu's persuasion. Mr. Yu was also half awake at this time. Seeing Zhu Mou leaving angrily, he was quite embarrassed, so he had to tell Master Shangshu After apologizing, he left Lord Shangshu's mansion in dismay, regretful in his heart.

"Mr. Yu was studying in the study that night, and fell asleep unconsciously. A little Huangmen walked in in a daze, saying that the Empress Dowager asked Mr. Yu to speak. Mr. Yu followed the little Huangmen in a daze. Walking out of the study, a huge palace appeared in front of him, with carved beams and painted buildings. At this time, Mr. Yu was at a loss, and had no idea why there was a palace outside his study.

"The little yellow gate led Mr. Yu out of the main hall. A woman in a fine dress came out earlier, led Mr. Yu to the west side of the main hall, and said to Mr. Yu, "Sir, sit down for a while and wait for me to report to the Empress Dowager."

"After the woman in Chinese clothes left, Mr. Yu carefully looked at the situation in the hall. I saw that the threshold of the hall was very high, and it was extremely difficult to cross the threshold. There was a high platform in the deepest part of the hall, and there was an embroidered curtain on it. Behind the curtain sat a man wearing a crown It's just that the nobleman is too far away, and there are embroidered curtains to cover the nobleman's face. There is a strange fragrance in the hall, like the breath of lotus. Under the high platform of the hall, an old man with white eyebrows and beard is standing, holding a toothbrush in his hand, It seems that he is playing something to the nobleman behind the embroidered curtain. It's just that he is too far away from Mr. Yu, so he can't hear what he is saying. The nobleman on the high platform seems to be quite displeased when he hears the white-browed old man, and he scolds him from time to time. Finally, he saw The white-browed old man looked ashamed and quite depressed.

"Mr. Yu was at a loss. He didn't know where he was, and he didn't know the surnames and origins of the people in front of him. Just when he was at a loss, the woman in a beautiful dress hurried over and said to Mr. Yu, it's too late today. The queen mother has no time to meet Mr. Yu, so please come back soon. Mr. Yu is invited here today to reward Mr. Yu for his contribution to refuting false people. Mr. Yu should know it. After the woman in the Chinese dress finished speaking, she took out a stick from her sleeve Yucheng, said to Mr. Yu, this scale is what I used to weigh the most talented people in the world in Chang'an in the past. Mr. will be the prefect of Chang'an, so I present this scale as a present, please don't dislike it."
